Over thinking is something we all do at one point or another. Our thoughts just run wild from one subject to another. When this process is not understood, we more so than not, actually do believe what we are thinking.

Our minds have a funny way of confusing the life out of us sometimes. If we could just realize, a thought is just a thought, it is not a fact. When we overthink, our minds actually start to believe, what we are thinking is true.

How to change this type of mental pattern ?

Become the investigator of your own mind. Dissect the the thoughts try get to the bottom of the rumination. Ask yourself

Why do I keep thinking about this

Is there a past issue, that is, related to it in some way

Maybe there is an answer to a past issue

Is there a lesson to be learned

If there is worry involved in the rumination, why?

Is worrying really going to change anything

Can you take action to change it

If you can’t change it adjust your focus.

Is there problem that needs addressing in your life. If yes, what can you do to change it.

How can your reduce the stress of this problem

Will thinking in a negative manner help you

Can you ask for help

Realize that rumination is not going to help you in any way possible. However, becoming aware of how you think is what will help you.

Ask yourself this. How, can over thinking into rumination help, me, in any way possible. Using your mind to think of useful ways to change the outcome is one thing but sitting around thinking & thinking & thinking is going to do nothing but make you sick. Mentally & physically.

Bring a time to mind when, you were in a very stressful time of life, unsure of what to do. Was it the over thinking that changed that situation or your action. I’m going to assume your answer is action.

Start a thought journal for yourself try & write in it every day especially when your thoughts are erratic. This is great way to bring awareness to your mind in plain black & white exactly how your thinking. It’s a great way to gain clarity. I’ve done this myself. It was wake up call I really needed 🙂

My Motto

"Everyone wants a wonderful world filled with peace, happiness, joy, etc. but we have no intentions of looking at ourselves, our minds, our behaviour or what comes out of our own mouth. Its very important to always remember, as much as anyone else, change for you, starts with you.

Hi everyone my name is siobhan, Im from Dublin, Ireland.
Me & my sister began to travel the 🌎 in 2012 we lived in Australia for 2 years & Canada for six months just visiting all the other places for shorter periods. In that time everything in my life changed, i woke up 💯Now I would call myself a fully self-aware person. In my opinion travel is the best teacher in the whole world it will take every belief you have & make you question it. I learned so much about myself & the world.
I've taken part in many courses which have been really enjoyable & life changing. One of my favourites is psychology. I just ❤️ it so much. It explains everything in such a way I can totally understand & I love Sigmund Frueds work. In my opinion it explains everything in a nutshell & I believe he understood the world & the people in on it very well 😁
Some of my favourite things are:
Photography 🎥
Psychology 🤔
Animals 🐶
Nature 🌿
Food 🥘
I have two blogs my photography blog & personal development blog. I hope there is something on either of them that you find of interest. Enjoy :)p
